7 and 8

6 and 8

2 and 5

IT LOOKS LIKE ITS THE LAST 2

Answer 1

the sum of 3 and 4 is 3 + 4 = 7. That is below 5 and 9 so you're right :)

Answer 2

that is between 5 and 9*

Answer 3

however, 2 and 5 are not consecutive, therefore it is not correct

Answer 4

WHAT DOES CONSECUTIVE MEAN?

Answer 5

consecutive means they follow each other. for example 1 and 2. 2 and 3. 4 and 5, etc.

Answer 6

It means one after the another....

Answer 7

if you want it algebraically, a consecutive number is n+ 1

Answer 8

See, if 5 is a number then consecutive to it can be 6 or it can be 4 also...

Answer 9

singe 2 and 5 don't follow each other when counting, they are not consecutive

Answer 10

since*

Answer 11

@abb50 I think (n-1) can also be consecutive...

Answer 12

well according to the dictionary "consecutive" means "following one another in uninterrupted succession or order; successive" so it's always going forward not back. but i guess it depends on what is n.

Answer 13

That's what I think...
